[Ymers] HIKING LEADERS: WC Hike Leaders: 100 Mile Patch Program for 2008

[Jennifer Eaton]

To clarify about the 100-mile patch program.

All hikes can be sent to Pat with ACTUAL mileage.  That's it.  Nothing more
needs to happen from us (except anyone who wants a patch).

Please remember to do this!  Thanks, Jen

 Jen,

Yes, have the hike release forms sent to me.  All other release forms, e.g.,
cycling, paddling, etc. can be sent to Deb.

The hike leaders don't have to track mileage for the individuals on their
hikes - just record the hike mileage at the top of the release form and send
the form to me.  I'll be the one validating the information sent to me by
the individual hikers.  Thanks for your help!
